18 ** Python modules are Mach-O MH_BUNDLE files. The best way to load these
19 ** is each in a private namespace, so you can load, say, a module bar and a
20 ** module foo.bar. If we load everything in the global namespace the two
21 ** initbar() symbols will conflict.
22 ** However, it seems some extension packages depend upon being able to access
23 ** each others' global symbols. There seems to be no way to eat our cake and
24 ** have it, so the USE_DYLD_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE define determines which behaviour
25 ** you get.
